Improving construction management with decentralised production planning and control: exploring the production crew and manager perspectives through a multi-method approach

Joint pricing and production management: a geometric programming approach with consideration of cubic production cost function

Coordination and harmony between different departments of a company can be an important factor in achieving competitive advantage if the company corrects alignment between strategies of different departments. This paper presents an integrated decision model based on recent advances of geometric programming technique. The demand of a product considers as a power function of factors such as produ...

Optimal production and marketing planning with geometric programming approach

One of the primary assumptions in most optimal pricing methods is that the production cost is a non-increasing function of lot-size. This assumption does not hold for many real-world applications since the cost of unit production may have non-increasing trend up to a certain level and then it starts to increase for many reasons such as an increase in wages, depreciation, etc. Moreover, the prod...

a new approach for joint demand management and production planning

demand management is one of the main subjects in marketing which affects the operations performance of an organization considerably. in the classic production planning approach, demand is considered as an exogenous factor in planning, while in the new approach, it is a factor that can be controlled. in this paper, we focus on a new approach in supply chain planning and present an integrated pro...

Integration of the Decisions Associated with Maintenance Management and Process Control for a Series Production System

This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...
